Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 13. Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells were left untreated (C) or were stimulated with sCD40L for 24 h. Protein expression of phospho-ERK1/2 (A), the p65 subunit of NF-κß (B), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (C), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) (D), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (E), CD40 (F) and caspase-3 (G) in the cell lysates was determined by Western blot analysis. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation from three experiments (* p < 0.05; independent t-test).
